Answer:

14 did not finish under 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Total number of competitors = 35

% who finish under 4 hours = 60%

Formula

Those who did not = 35 - 60%*35

Solution

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35 * 60%

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35*60/100 = 2100/100

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 21

Those who did not = 35 - 35*60/100

Those who did not = 35 - 21

Those who did not = 14

====================

There is another way to do this. Realize that 40% did not finish the race in under 4 hours.

Those who did not finish in under 4 hours = 35*40/100 = 1400 / 100 = 14

Hi. You have to do trial and error with each of the choices to see which of those apply. They are points on the given function y=22x+32 that lie on point (x,y). Just substitute the x-and y values to the function.

a. (10,480) => x = 10, y = 480
y = 480 = 22(10) + 32
480 = 252 (does not apply)

b. (5,142) => x = 5, y = 142
y = 142= 22(5) + 32
142 = 142 (apply)

c. (8,208) => x = 8, y = 208
y = 208 = 22(8) + 32
208 = 208 (apply)

d. (7,154) => x = 7, y = 154
y = 154 = 22(7) + 32
154 = 186 (does not apply)

The answer is B and C.

Share $600 between Anna and Raman in the ratio 3:7 and 1:4

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

3 : 7 =>

Anna = $180

Raman = $420

1 : 4 =>

Anna = $120

Raman = $480

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Shares when ratio is 3 : 7</u>

Anna : Raman = 3 : 7

Sum of ratio 10

Anna's share=

$\frac{3}{10} \times 600 = \$ 180$

Raman 's share=

$\frac{7}{10} \times 600 = \$ 420$

<u>Shares when ratio is 1 : 4</u>

Anna : Raman = 1 : 4

Sum of ratio = 5

Anna 's share =

$\frac{1}{5} \times 600 = \$ 120$

Raman's share =

$\frac{4}{5} \times 600 = \$ 480$

Answer:

The company sold a new issue of bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A new issue of bonds is commonly known as a process or a way by which companies try to acquire a substantial amount of money via bonds selling in a typical bond market. The company, in this case, recorded a negative net cash flow in its balance sheet even with an increase in cash flow because it sold a new issue of bonds.
